Reflection for the October 2021

29^th October

On Friday in the 3^rd and 4^th period I was having a video lesson on the subject social studies; ”roles of family members”. The lesson was wow and children enjoyed a lot. I prepared the slides and presented each to the class. This lesson was presented in the class slide by slide. This lesson was also presented in the Camtasia. Before I made video lesson in Camtasia, I have taught it in the classroom as well. The lesson was enjoyable. Sometimes it’s beneficial to use digital instead of writing on the chalkboard.

Advantages

Today’s children are more digital than using chalk, chalkboard and textbook. They love once the computers and projectors are brought to the class. It changes their mood and facial expression. They love to watch in the laptop and you tube. They were asked the family members at home. When they name the members one by one, I also showed from the laptop that I have listed. Then they were asked the role of each family member at home. I asked what their father’s, mother’s, sister’s/brother’s work at home. I gave chance to express their feeling to each child. I made everyone to tell the role of their family members. Then I have presented my written work from the laptop. I showed them what I have written. They enjoyed the slides and were alert to see the typed sentences where they were quite fed up with writing on the chalk board.

Dis-advantages

As every coin has two sides there are disadvantages where there is advantages. The use of ict in the classroom lesson was interesting but there is also bad of it. I found that when I was presenting the lesson from laptop, few children were talking more of the digitals. Some children were carrying away by imagination. Their attention was towards other side when the presentation was going on. The common dis-advantage was collecting the materials for video lesson. Sometimes short of projector and sometime the lesson consume the time due to poor handling of digitals by the teacher as teachers are not trained on it.
